Not only gaming, but this has been a huge week for me! For example, I finishe school last week and only have exams left, I redesigned my website, http://www.centurygaming.co.uk for the better (stil WIP) and I picked up a £22 PSN Code for £12 on eBay as bought Wild Arms, ODDWORLD: Abd’s Oddyssey and Machinarium! I have some money left over which I wish to spend on the games in the post above.

Hi Fred! When are we going to find out about the replacements of LittleBigPlanet 2, Infamous 2 and Motorstorm Apocalypse (which I believe are about to end their 1 year tenure) from the IGC? Although I have a strong feeling I know about 2 of those, the 3rd one still eludes me!… Anyway, waiting on this!

Loved SONY’s PS4 in-game Football Advert in yesterdays Champions League game!:P Nice ‘ONE’:D SONY + I have been enjoying the X-ONE bashing this week:D But Tech sites & Gaming sites seem to still love it tho(what a surprise, YAWN) Can’t wait for E3 even more now + i hope it’s all GAMES at SONY’s E3 really(maybe they can show the other features for 5 minutes i guess):D

I forgot to put this in the other post but it was also my 18th birthday last week! This has been one of the best weeks I’ve had all year, XBOX One has had the life bashed out of it, my birthday was on Tuesday from which I received over £300 and in general it has been a fantastic week! What a fitting end to a fantastic week, the weather is beautiful and I was on a bike ride yesterday. Now I think I’m going to go outside into my garden as I’ve finished writing my new website’s latest article.

I’m loving life right now. I’m thoroughly looking forward to GTA:V, The Last Of Us and of course, the PS4.

Are there plans to bring Pinball Arcade: Season One Bundle to Europe? I see US is currently having problems with the package so it may be delayed a month or so. In any case if you bring it to EU, please negotiate a deal to offer single table packs with discount too (for a limited period of week for Plus members, e.g.). As many probably owns a few tables already and wouldn’t want to pay for them “twice”, but might otherwise be interested in Season One Bundle.

hi fredare there plans to see Sony E3 press conference live on psvita(update youtube app to support livestream or release new app like niconico app )

i hope SCE will not forget psvita during E3 press conference , we need new games , features and apps on ps vita (i feel Sony will announce something big for psvita during press conference )thank you :)

Hi Fred, i’d ask you to your personal opinion, if you don’t mind. So then. Which choice do you think is better:

a) Keeping Singstar thing forced in XMB, so you may gain some money from new customers, but on other side you’ll lose many other customers, who can’t stand SCEE arrogance.

b) Making Singstar thing optional, so you may gain some money from new customers. Those customers, who doesn’t like it, can delete it and won’t need to stop buying from PS store. Simply – everybody will be happy.

Logically i’d vote for b), but maybe i’m only some stupid customer who isn’t important for SCEE and my personal opinion is far from SCEE management opinion. Think what do you want, but i will never stop.

Well, nothing to say this week more than… 14 days, and we all will already know how your next-gen machine is. I’m closely following the Witness too, it looks fun, and a good old exploration/puzzle game.

I’d like to raise, though, a bit of a “concern” about the Ultimate Warriors sale. Because I do really believe that it was a missed chance to have a few Vita games on sale. We have a lots of fighters in the handheld, would have been an awesome thing to get. In fact I’m waiting for DOA5+ price to drop anyday in a discount. I want to purchase that thing digitally, but you/Tecmo are not helping!

Anyways, looking forward to this Wednesday for the new Plus goodies (I’ll finally be able to get ICO/SotC) and any more news this next week.

So have a nice “holiday” break Fred, see you around on Tuesday :D

PS: I do love that little troll you guys at SCEE have inside someti...

Hello everyoneGood evening Fred, and a great recap just like everyone ;)Loved the Weekend debate topic too, and as Carl-G said I seen the PS4 advertisment myself. I thought it was a very smart move, im sure all the Bayern Munich and Burrusia Dortmund players will ll be picking up one on launch thanks to that great move, again well done ;)Very excited now for The Last Of Us launch because im getting it on launch, i’m so so excited ;) :)Saw a few weeks back that SCEA Registered Domains for The Last Of Us 2 and 3 not much of a suprise, judging by the reception for The Last Of Us I can tell this is going to add to Naugjty Dogs already advancing 3 Franchises actually to count Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog still own him. ;)Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.Goodbye Fred ;)Regards declan__watson :)

I’ve got two reviews to write up for Iron Sky Invasion and Call of Juarez Gunslinger. A couple of other articles (under NDA’s) and then I might try getting one game out of the ever increasing backlog, 71 at this point.

It’s nice to see such strong support for a console when we are so close to the next generation. I think this could be the best ever E3 for Sony. Just please, get plenty of servers streaming the show as last year became very laggy and frustrating.

Overall, weeks sale was very nice for fighting game fans. I have waited when Virtual Fighter 5 comes on sale again; and now I got it. In addition, I grabbed KOF: XIII. Could have bought more, but Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 wasn’t on sale; TTT2 I already own. Also might have got Blazblue: Extend to try it out if offered but it’s only for Vita on SEN. Well my PS3 hard-drive wouldn’t even have enough space to everything. So as a development idea, a possibility to download games to external hard-drive and launching them there, might be a very welcomed firmware update.

Hi FredThank you very much for the reply and I agree with you on that. When I first saw the trailer for this I said this is obviously the game of the year for 2013 because its got a wonderful texture to it plus bonding between the 2 protagonists and a lovely story line which we all know Naughty Dog are spectacular at doing. Also Fred, do you think maybe a week before The Last Of Us officially releases could you guys maybe bring out a demo for everyone to have a go at before hitting that Pre-order button?Thanks again Fred, enjoy the rest of your evening :) ;)

evening Fred.. i just been in me downloaded list, omg, please is there Any plans for organising this ?, Hectic, plus i can’t help but wonder how it’ll affect or exist after ps4s launch, same list for both platforms, if no changes are made then things will get really mad, anyway reason i was in there is i just feel like playing some original Borderlands (dlc), like many here i have massive backlog of games, mostly c/o plus, But well, can’t beat the classics (imo), i had a few ideas as well, not sure if they’d be possible but.. i noticed some demo’s in my list that aren’t available on store any more, it’s sad that a lot of people will never get chance to try ‘some’ of these, maybe if you’s added a ‘catch up’ feature every so often offering these older gems, am sure there’d be interest in both the demo’s and getting full game afterwards by enough people, even just for interest it would be good.. i also noticed the free theme i got for joining plus, back when it started, lol i almost do...

But instead of theme i wish it would of been a avatar, be nice for the early ‘supporters’ to have (access to) a Unique avatar. No use for us ‘anom’ posters though.

I had a very good idea I want to suggest and I can’t think of anywhere better.

I think Sony should do a Nintendo Direct type show but just for the Indie developers. There are many of these games on here and just get one blog post about them. A video would give them a place to show their game, do an interview and show some gameplay with the developer explaining it. A lot of people don’t visit this site and don’t know what the game is about. If is appears on the PS4 or the Vita it might encourage people to buy the game and attract more indie developers for exposure.

I have been reading the articles about the Xbox One and its game trade in policy. Since there is 2 policies so far that could happen but there is still confusion about what will they do.

For people how don’t know what I am taking about.

1. The game will only work on a one console so family won’t be able to play it. Once you trade it in the retailer will get a fee and a new code so they can resell it. So Microsot wins and the retailer wins.

2. The person who is buying second hand will have to pay a fee to play the game. The game won’t work at all.

I for one don’t really care about it if the PS4 does it as well but what concerns me it that when my brother gets a PS4 that he won’t be able to play it. If there is a way to umbrella it so a certain amount of consoles can play it on the same licence.

I’m excited and scared because this E3 will determine my next-gen console purchase.

If Sony follows the same line as Microsoft when it comes to used games, then I will – after 3 Sony consoles and 2 Sony handhelds – skip a Playstation console and instead buy a Wii U (which most likely gets a price cut as well at E3).I hope it does not happen, but I’m not a weak consumer, so I will definitely go through with it if it happens and convince my friends and family to follow suit. Don’t screw up, Sony.

1)-Is it possible to know if The Last of Us will be released on June 14 also on European Playstation Store?-And in this case, how many GB of free space are required to install the game?I’d really like to know this as soon as possible, since I haven’t preorderd the game yet because I’m waiting to know if my Ps3 can “handle” the digital copy or not.

2)-Any chance for a Playstation Store release of Fahrenheit (also known as Indigo Prophecy)?I love the partnership between Sony and Quantic Dream (In my opinion Heavy Rain is a masterpiece, I can’t wait for Beyond Two Souls) so I thikn that would be awesome to play Fahrenheit on our Ps3!

1) We’ll have an update on this very issue for you later this week ;) Not sure what the size will be, though you can bet it’ll be a biggie.2) It’s certainly possible, but I’ve no news for you on this at present

@VK3YWB:So wait, we have to wait until September just to play Gladiator HD which is 4 months? If this is true. I’m not even going to bother downloading the game. Idol Minds has already getting on my nerves. I wouldn’t mind June or July but after summer? No!

I’m really really excited for E3. Sooooo cant wait for it. Also with The Last of Us out on the same week makes it even better. Cant wait to see what else they have to show us but even if they did do the block used games like Microsoft is doing on their Xbox One, then that’s no issue for me as I buy my games new anyway. As long as the console doesn’t need to be connected online once every 24 hours then that’s good enough for me

Have you played Rayman Origins? It’s one of my very favourite games from this gen. Pure fun – not to mention ridiculously good-looking. As for Coconut Dodge – it might look straightforward, but FuturLab knows how to make a timesink. And they have a nice sense of humour too. I’d give them a both chance before you write them off.

God of War Q&A should be any day now! Another team at SCEE is actually in charge of this particular thing so I’m at their mercy to a degree.

As for Weekend Debate prizes, it’s a frustrating reality that some EU regions have restrictive laws on competitions and giveaways. Italy is one, and unfortunately, Greece is another. We do our best to offer them to as many people as we can, but sometimes our busy legal team give us the thumbs down and it’s just not possible. Sorry :(
